4. Who or what inspired you to pursue fashion?

“What inspired me to get started in the fashion Industry is Naomi Campbell I’ve watched her for so long and just dreamed of being just a quarter of who she is.”

5. Less or More?

“Less or More? IT actually Depends on the look. If IT call for layers I say add till you can’t breath. I love layers for a New York street style but if I’m going for a more GQ style simplicity is Key.”

“My Theme This Fashion week Was “Roy G Biv” which I wanted to be a play on Priamry colors in a Urban Streetwear setting.”

8. What was the most influential part about NYFW 2018?

“The Most influential thing I experienced this NYFW was the Creativity. It was mesmerizing to see so many people with different style all coming together in the name of Fashion. It was cool to get recognition by some real Fashion experts and successful people in the Industry.”

9. What makes a good fit standout from the average?

“A Good Fit will Always standout if you possess the Confidence and OWN IT. know everything You wear won’t be considered your “best” Look but I think as long as you are confident and really like what you are wearing you can go from Not to HOT in seconds.”

10. What is the top jacket for spring?

“WINDBREAKERS WINDBREAKERS WINDBREAKERS !!!! Is THE item for spring. Even Oscar De La Renta picked this item over a cocktail dress or Elegant ball gown. If you haven’t copped a vintage windbreaker by now your late Asf!!!!”

“The brand I think shut it down NYFW 18 was definitely Laquan Smith. Something about his designs, looks, and overall concept gets me excited about Fashion. He isn’t some snobby designer who sticks to the stereotypical model he allows his creativity to come in all shapes sizes and genders and I LIVE FOR IT.”

13. What was your favorite look from NYFW?

“My favorite look for NYFW 18 has to be Zendaya at the Micheal Kors Fall show I’m “RTW” I’m very into street wear and I think this is a classy take on the adidas sweat suit. Those heels are literally to die for.”
